Censorship by secret UK court

[New Nexus]

A UK judge has ordered the BBC not to broadcast a documentary about England's August 2011 riots, reports The Guardian. The judge also banned the BBC and media from disclosing the court in which the censorship order was made; the judge's name; or the details or nature of the order.

If it saved the ditching of a twelve week murder trial that was very close to conclusion, it may have had some merit. http://www.guardian.co.uk/law/2012/jul/19/riot-murder-judge-bbc-broadcast-documentaries Waiting a few more weeks to see the documentaries isn't going be a great burden or cost much, and the replacement documentary on wartime aerial reconnaissance was well worth seeing. A more probing reasoned assessment can now take place, and hopefully it will help inform any similar future decision.

I was concerned about this, but now the reason has come out it seems it was the right things to do. In fact, it casts a poor light upon the BBC and the Guardian for trying to challenge the ruling and not acting more responsibly.

It's worth noting that the ban has now been lifted as the trial is over.

...or maybe just the BBC/Guardian (lefty) viewpoint that everything that happens in the world should firstly be viewed as some sort some sort of rightwing conspiracy. As per, the answer is normally far more obvious.

anyway, I am looking forward to seeing the LSE/Guardian 'Research' on the riots to see if there's an option for "why I rioted" of "because I am a semi-feral, uneducated, irresponsible, opportunistic criminal" alongside the "Tory Cuts", "Police brutality", "No table Tennis Table in the youth Centre" etc options

Or ???? is it because you are a bored middles class student who thought it would be fun to be the getaway car driver for your new semi ferial friends to receive some street cred :)
